Ingredients

For the Oreo Cinnamon Roll Dough:

• 3 1/2 to 4 cups all-purpose flour (440g-500g)
• 1 packet instant dry yeast (7g or 1/4 oz.)
• 1 tsp salt (6g)
• 1 cup whole milk (240g)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (100g)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature (56g)
• 1 large egg, room temperature
• 1/2 cup crushed Oreos (50g)

For the Chocolate Oreo Cinnamon Roll Filling:

• 1/2 cup packed light brown sugar (100g)
• 2 Tbsp black cocoa (12g)
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon (3g)
• 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (56g)
• 1/2 cup crushed Oreos (50g)

For the Vanilla Glaze:

• 1 Tbsp unsalted butter, room temperature (8g)
• 1 1/2 cups powdered sugar (188g)
• 2 Tbsp whole milk (30g)
• 1 tsp artificial vanilla extract (4g)

Directions

Dough Preparation:

1. Preheat your oven to 200°F (95°C) just to warm it up; you’ll later turn it off for the dough to rise.
2. Mix 3 1/2 cups of flour with the yeast and salt in a large bowl or stand mixer.
3. Heat the milk, 1/4 cup butter, and sugar in a microwave-safe bowl until warm. Stir well and gradually add to the flour mixture.
4. Mix using a dough hook until the dough forms. Add the egg and continue mixing, gradually adding more flour if necessary, until the dough is elastic but not sticky.
5. Incorporate 1/2 cup crushed Oreos into the dough.
6. Let the dough rest, covered, for 10 minutes.

Assembly:

1. Roll out the dough on a floured surface into a 12×18 inch rectangle.
2. Spread 1/4 cup softened butter over the dough, then sprinkle with the cinnamon roll filling and additional crushed Oreos.
3. Roll up the dough tightly from one end and cut into 9 pieces.
4. Place the rolls in a greased pan and let rise in the warmed, then turned-off, oven.

Baking:

1. Remove the rolls from the oven, heat it to 350°F (175°C), and bake the rolls until golden, about 26-30 minutes.

Glazing:

1. Mix all the glaze ingredients until smooth and drizzle over the warm rolls.
2. Garnish with additional crushed Oreos.
